Why on earth would you do that when you can use a DateTimePicker?

I have a string variable that holds the equivalent of a DateTime value. I pulled this datetime from the database and I want to strip off the time portion before displaying to the user. I am using C# eg. - String variable "strMyDate" holds the value "1/1/2005 12:00:00 AM" from the database. - I do not care about the time portion, I only want "1/1/2005" for display.

I know that given a FormatString and a DateTime you can use DateTime.ToString(...) to convert the DateTime to a String. My question is how can you turn that around? Given a String and a FormatString, how can you convert the String back to a DateTime? DateTime.Parse(...) doesn't use the FormatString.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
